Abstract

Language serves as a fundamental manifestation of group identity in addition to being a way of communicating the thoughts, opinions, feelings, and beliefs that characterize a group. Each language, whether majority or minority, is an essential and indispensable part of the culture and identity of a society. This research investigates ways of restoring and conserving minority languages based on the tactics and techniques collected from various case studies used by various countries to preserve their own minority languages. Additionally, the research suggests some methods that might prove efficient in maintaining the Egyptian Nobiin language such as: developing a curriculum for the Nobiin language as an elective course in tourism and hotel diploma schools; raising awareness of the importance of maintaining the language among young generations; using social media and virtual communities as a breathing space for the Nobiin language; and finally, preserving the language through language learning programs and courses given to students during their learning vacations by Nobiin native speakers.
